Just perfect...

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

I found this movie on Netflix streaming movies. It is primarily a relationship story about a young married couple. He is a programmer and she is in customer service. He is bright but "technical" while she is bright and friendly with lots of empathy.Martin Starr is the programmer, Joe Larsen, his project is designing something that most of us encounter every time we make a call to a company. A software system that uses human voices and programmed to find out what you need and direct you to the appropriate department. Something real people used to do, just a few years ago.Joe was having difficulty with the voice until he realized that his cute wife, Mae Whitman as Emily Klein, had the perfect voice and perfect characteristics for his project. Against her better judgment she let him record conversations she made in the normal course of her job and he in turn used her as his source for the programming.Had it only been that everything would have been fine. However it takes a darker turn as Joe begins to pay more attention to his programmed voice than to his wife. To the point that he was relying on the computerized conversations for sexual arousal. The reason I found this movie worthwhile is it explores, in a fictional way, the impact of technology on our personal lives and how it may easily interfere with normal human relationships. Both actors are excellent in their roles.

This movie is amazing. Beautifully written and acted.Sadly it suffers from being put in the "comedy" genre like Lost In Translation and Birdman. Yes they are funny in parts, but ultimately the story is so sad it rips your heart out and does a little tap dance on it.That said, this dark (and sometimes funny) tale is really interesting, and I did wonder which direction the film was headed in.It was like a very long episode of Black Mirror. So if you like your viewing beautiful, emotional, moving, hard to watch and a little bit depressing at the end ... This bad boy is for you!Honestly - It's REALLY good. Enjoy :)

So here's the deal. The movie was filmed beautifully. The characters portrayed each other well. But the movie was just so sad. And the kind of sad that is not necessary. I feel what I was watching "The Lobster" and the highlight of that movie was a dog who used to be a human getting killed. Geese I liked the contrast of the comedy being actually sad but give us a break dammit how dark must a person's soul be to write this. It just leaves you feeling like everything is going to sh*t and maybe that's the point but man it says COMEDY under genre. It was just way too much for me. I watched it and I enjoyed it and I understood it but I kind of wish I haven't because it was so depressing, even though it's perfectly fine and unique artistically. I just don't know what to think of this movie anymore. It depicted mental health problems, it depicted being human and making selfish mistakes, but it also depicted unrealistic moments at times. We come to the movies to relate or to escape. I believe this made us relate to the wrong side of us. There was a 10 second somewhat happy ending that I won't spoil but the whole thing makes me question who did this movie do good for besides the people involved in the creating process.And a caveat: I wish we didn't always see mental disorders on such opposite ends of the spectrum. They either depict a very positive or a very negative picture. As you might have guessed this movie did the latter. I think we can do better. Also I believe that the character most likely has anxiety disorder though it cannot be said for certain without eliminating other illnesses. It is important to note however that the "cause" of autism is not known. There's no such thing. The mother drinking alcohol while pregnant might increase the risk but that's it. Anyway I'm gonna cry myself to sleep now and try to forget this movie.

It is a story of a programmer and relation with his spouse and his friends. And how the relationship goes down when the Joe(the programmer) starts a project with his colleague to create an Artificially Intelligent answering machine for the client of the company in which he is employed. He involved his wife Emily on it because she is so good in handling customers and clients in a hotel in which she is working. Meanwhile Emily(programmer's wife) has different interests like working in different kind of theater and after sometime she does't like to work with Joe. Joe ,unable to understand her feelings let her go and stick to AI software though software is kind of feels like humanly. When he realized that Emily (AI) is not Emily(wife). He regret that and makes everything good with her. The story is quite interesting and contains real drama here. If you are a programmer or person who understand little bit of Artificial Intelligence then the movie could be intimating and interesting & if you are not then also you will feel the story and drama. Anyways this movie is full utilization of time and money .The people who worked on this movie has done great job on it. It's good to watch movies like that.
